Presentation transcript:

G M MIT LIGO David Shoemaker LIGO PAC 27 June 02

G M 2 Support of initial LIGO commissioning l Activity »MIT Lab’s first priority »MIT staff led several initial LIGO subsystems from concept to hardware: Beam Tube, Vacuum Equipment, Systems Integration, Interferometer Sensing/Control, Physics Environmental Monitor »Now concentrating on shaking down system »Activities/staff at both MIT (hardware, e.g., new suspension sensors; analysis/remote commissioning) and at Observatories l Individuals: »Rainer Weiss – leading Livingston Commissioning, 2/3 at site »Peter Fritschel – Organizing commissioning at both observatories »Nergis Mavalvala – Controls, Systems, everything else »Mike Zucker – leading effort to improve electronics infrastructure »Dave Ottaway – continued contribution on Laer, Input Optics, etc. »Rana Adhikari – Grad, Full time at Livingston; noise modeling

G M 3 Data analysis for initial LIGO l Activity »Recent faculty addition has made it ‘happen’ »Wide group interest in interface between instrument and data »Search for ‘Un-modeled bursts’ and environmental effects l Individuals: »Erik Katsavounidis – Faculty (new students!), leading analysis in MIT group »Julien Sylvestre, Stefan Ballmer – Grads, developing time-frequency- power analysis, tools for trigger evaluation »Keith Bayer – programmer/sysadmin »Tania Regimbau, Laura Cadonati – Postdocs, astrophysics of stochastic backgounds, trigger evaluation »Fritschel, Zucker, Shoemaker, Harry, Ottaway -- leaders/participants in ‘upper limit’ initial analysis efforts

G M 4 Development of future detectors l Activities: Advanced LIGO »Systems engineering/trades (from initial LIGO) »Sensing/Control expertise (from initial LIGO) »LASTI (Full-scale mechanical tests of Suspensions/Isolation, Input Optics/Laser) l Activities: beyond Advanced LIGO »New group around Nergis Mavalvala, likely new NSF grant l Individuals: »Peter Fritschel – Leading System trades, Sensing/control subsystem »Mike Zucker – Sensing/Control; thermal compensation; LASTI leader »Nergis Mavalvala – Faculty (new students!), Sensing/Control, QND schemes »David Shoemaker – LSC suspensions/isolation working group leader »Ken Mason – Mech Eng for LASTI, Preisolator »Rich Mittleman – Controls, LASTI »Gregg Harry – Thermal Noise, LASTI »Dave Ottaway – Optics/lasers »Ryan Lawrence – Grad, Thermal compensation »Jamie Rollins,Joe Betzwieser– Grads, LASTI »Keisuke Goda – Grad, Sensing/control/QND

G M 5 Community Activity »LIGO Scientific Collaboration »LIGO Advanced System Test Interferometer: Focus for many community instrument development activities Individuals »Weiss: LSC Spokesperson »Shoemaker: Leader of LSC Suspensions/Isolation Working Group »Zucker: LASTI leader

G M 6 MIT LIGO Lab l Origin: the MIT Gravitation and Cosmology Lab »CMB ballooning, COBE earlier activities »Precursor of the US GW Observatory effort »Presently totally supported by and focussed on LIGO »May grow in scope through NSF and NASA grants to new faculty »Part of MIT’s Center for Space Research – connection with source modeling, astrophysics, technical support

G M 7 Relationship to rest of LIGO Lab l One of the 4 sites (Caltech, Hanford, Livingston, MIT) l Capitalizes on centralized administration at Caltech (like Observatories) l Subcontract to MIT group, thus much purchasing, financial tracking, etc. local to MIT (unlike Observatories) l Integrated into the management, planning, scientific and technical activities l Fully participant in the commissioning at the observatories l And the data analysis!

G M 8 MIT Staffing summary 3.5 Scientist/faculty FTEs (goal: 6) 5 Postdoc/term FTEs (goal: 3) 7 Graduate students 3.5 Engineers, Technical Specialist, Sysadmin 1 Administrator Presently 20 FTEs total, 22 individuals (+2-3 Ugrads) »6 Ugrads this summer!

G M 9 Staff (Budgeted) by Location

G M 10 Proposed by Year and Site

G M 11 MIT 2002 Budget by Category Business office Data Analysis/ Computing Observatory on-site Support Scientific and Technical Base Advanced R&D Project Office

G M 12 Evolution Baseline LIGO Lab plan is for constant group size Significant activities in instrument development based on geographically distributed groups, not added staff »Suspensions/LASTI – Caltech/UK-led »Isolation/LASTI – LLO/LSU led »Adv LIGO Systems, Sensing/Control – MIT led Data analysis: added strength from NSF etc. grants QND etc.: establishment of group through NSF etc. grants Probable ‘swing of the pendulum’ away from Suspensions etc, toward 3 rd generation readout, sensing, and control schemes

G M 13 Physical Infrastructure Offices in NW17, NW22 »Not really worth a visit l Lab in NW17 »4,000 sq ft high bay, pair of bridge cranes »8,000 sq ft laser, vibration, vacuum prep labs; machine shop; electronics shop »Huge vacuum system »Beowulf-type computing cluster 32  64 nodes »…all equipped with HEPA overpressured air, ethernet, etc. »Worth a visit!
